MutableMapping, and thereby lost functionality because the replacement
functionality was implemented incorrectly or incompletely). Since bsddb
isn't in py3k, this patch just goes back to using DictMixin in order to
correct the regression.
This patch publishes the work done until now
for Python 3.0 compatibility. Still a lot
to be done.
When possible, we use 3.0 features in Python 2.6,
easing development and testing, and exposing internal
changes to a wider audience, for better test coverage.
Some mode details:

features in BerkeleyDB not exposed. notably: the DB_MPOOLFILE interface
has not yet been wrapped in an object.
Adds support for building and installing bsddb3 in python2.3 that has
an older version of this module installed as bsddb without conflicts.
The pybsddb.sf.net build/packaged version of the module uses a
dynamicly loadable module called _pybsddb rather than _bsddb.
